There’s always a rich tradition of stories built up over time wherever you go in Ireland and the Clogher district is no exception. In this part of the Clogher Heritage site we bring you some examples for information and even entertainment! As LP Hartley put it, "The past is a foreign country: they do things differently there"

Examples here are references to:

Traditional “treatments”, where the recommended remedy might often seem worse than the affliction.

Superstition, which survived long after the coming of Christianity.

Past lifestyle practises, supposedly superseded by “modernity”
